Invisible Eye-Ball Lenses Go Into Mass Production

Dorothy Parker's couplet, “Men seldom make passes at girls who

wear glasses,” is a short and sweet

have strived for years to develop a substitute for spectacles.

explanation of why optical scientists Sports-

women and actresses particularly have sought ways and means of eliminating “specs,” and now at last it is reported that eyesight can be

brought up to normal by lenses that pletely invisible! The most important advantage of the new “Plexiglas” lens is that it is less than half the weight of a glass lens and can be shaped to fit the patient's eve comfortably. Riding the eye-ball on a film of tears, these feather-weight lenses cannot be detected even at close range, nor can they become fogged, dislodged or broken even in active sports such as swimming. Many Canadian R.,L A. F. pilots are now wearing these plastic lenses, and Canadian medical authorities feel that they restore perfect vision to potential pilots without any of the dangers or handicaps which conventional spectacles would involve in air combat work. Developed by a New York optometrist named William Feinbloom, these lenses are made either en-

tirely of transparent Plexiglas or]

with a Plexiglas rim which covers the white of the eve and holds a tiny glass lens over the cornea. The cup shaped lenses, which are filled with saline solution and inserted against the eyeball, adhere to the white of the eye at the rim only, the center portion of the lense and the cornea beng separated by a pocket of the saline solution. Among the Americans already wearing such eyeball lenses are some 50 Hollywood film stars and many other actors, actresses, sportsmen and sportswomen.

Encampment For Scouts Is

Aug. 11-25

Times Special NEW YORK, July 24—For the second year kept from attending an international encampment at Adelboden, Switzerland, Girl Scouts and Girl Guides in North and South America will send delegates Aug. 11-25 to a Western Hemisphere encampment at Camp Bonnie Brae, Springfield, Mass. The capacity registration of 160 is filled. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, honorary president cf the Girl Scouts,

will visit the encampment on Aug. 18 for a luncheon in her honor, visits with camping units and a talk at a special assembly. She will bring with her the greetings of the President to the campers. Girl Guides will come from Argentina, Barbados, Bermuda, British Guiana, British Honduras, Canada, Cuba, Guatemala, Jamaica, Newfoundland, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and the Virgin Islands to share living quarters, the work of camp life and their ideas with American Girl Scouts. Their expenses will be paid in part from the Juliette Low Memorial Fund, to which Girl Scouts have contributed pennies. Each foreign delegate will bring with her preparations for cooking a meal typical of her country, in addition to local handcrafts and native costumes. During the encampment period the campers will hear a concert at nearby Tanglewood given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Sergei Koussevitzky and will be guests of Lenox (Mass.) Girl Scouts at a special party. On Juliette Low Night, Aug. 19, Mrs. E. Swift Newton of Daylesford, Pa. chairman of the Girl Scout International Committee, will present special Scout pins to the foreign guests. Copies of “Juliette Low and the Girl Scouts,” an official history of Scouting in the United States, will be given each country's delegation by Mrs. Arthur O. Choate of New York, Juliette Low Memorial Fund chairman.

‘TI Don’t Have Time to Read’

She finds time to knit garment after garment for the members of her family. Whenever she has half an hour of free time, she picks up her knitting needles and her ball of yarn. She finds time to play bridge theee or four times a week—almost always with the same seven women. She finds time to entertain elaborately. No simple little buffet meals for her. She works for two days getting ready for company dinner. She also finds time to drive her children everywhere they go. They wouldn't dream of walking a quarter of a mile on the nicest day. If she really wanted to read, to know what is going on in the world —in the way of thought as well as action—she could cut down on some of those activities and have some

CHILDREN don’t have to wear hand-knit sweaters. One bridge game a week ought to satisfy any woman. Entertaining doesn’t always have to be on the grand scale. A hostess who can talk intelligently is a rarer creature by far than one who serves elaborate dinners. Children don’t have to have a chauffeur at their beck and call. It’s usually downright dishonest to say, “I can’t find time for ...” We somehow manage to find time for the things we consider important. The woman who claims she hasn’t time to read is really saying, “I don’t think that reading is very important.” But if she actually said that, she would have to face the fact that she has let her mind grow
